Appendix E:  Site Data Storage
Also referred to as the ‘dumpbox mode’, this function allows the Grade 3 panel to emulate the behaviour of
an External RS232 module, which can then be attached to another Galaxy panel, including Legacy panels of
previous versions, to copy the programming data.
For the purposes of this document, the Grade 3 panel in use is referred to as the Grade 3 panel. The panel to
which the Grade 3 panel is connected is referred to as the Legacy panel.
Preparing for Storage Mode
Prior to using the storage mode facility, the Grade 3 panel must be attached to the Legacy panel through the
RS485 line. It will be necessary to connect the A and B wires on line 2 of the Grade 3 panel to the same wires
on line 1 of the Legacy panel. It is not possible to substitute another line in either panel, the connection must be
as indicated.
If the Legacy panel and the Grade 3 panel are each independently powered, the + and – wires on the line
should NOT be connected. It is, however, possible to power either panel from the power supply of the other.
In this latter configuration, the + and – wires should be connected as normal.
While the Grade 3 panel is connected to the Legacy panel, the panels share the affected lines. If the Grade 3
panel is not itself in Storage mode, therefore, both panels will attempt to poll modules on these lines. It should
be assumed that any modules on line 2 of the Grade 3 panel, or on line 1 of the Legacy panel will therefore be
inoperable while this condition persists. Once the Grade 3 panel enters Storage mode, this condition ceases to
apply – the Legacy panel has full control over all modules on the line.
Enabling Storage Mode
On the Grade 3 panel, storage mode is enabled through the menu system as follows:
1. Enter Engineer mode.
2.Using a keypad NOT connected to line 2, enter menu 56.6.1.4=Communications.Int
RS232.Mode.Storage Mode.
3.Press ent.
The display on the keypad used to activate storage mode will change to read STORAGE MODE  [ESC]
to abort. From this point forward, the Grade 3 panel will appear to the Legacy panel as an external RS232
module connected to line 1. Additionally, at this point the Grade 3 panel will stop polling line 2, while the
Legacy panel should once again be able to poll modules on line 1.
Data Storage 
						

							Galaxy 3 Series Programming Manual
E-2
Data Storage (cont’d)
Using Storage Mode
On the Legacy panel, enter and leave Engineer mode, so the External RS232 module is recognised. Then re-
enter Engineer mode to use the storage mode facilities.
On the Legacy panel, enter menu 56.2.4=Communications.RS232.Copy/Overwrite.
To copy the programming data FROM the Legacy panel TO the Grade 3 panel, select 1=Copy Site. To
copy the programming data FROM the Grade 3 panel TO the Legacy panel, select 2=Overwrite Site.
Press 1 to start the copy procedure, or 2 to abort at any time. The copy procedure can also be aborted by
pressing esc on the Grade 3 panel; this exits Storage mode.
NOTE:The copy procedure is started as soon as the option is selected; neither panel requests confirmation
before proceeding.
During the copy procedure, the display on the affected keypad on the Grade 3 panel will show a message
indicating which data elements are being copied (Users, Parameters, etc).
Leaving Storage Mode
At any time, Storage mode can be exited by pressing esc on the Grade 3 panel. It is recommended that the
panels be separated before this is done, although doing so is not necessary. If the panels remain connected
while the Grade 3 panel is not in Storage mode, behaviour on line 2 of the Grade 3 panel and line 1 of the
Legacy panel cannot be guaranteed.
